Moving more together!

Our mission began after the 2021 flood disaster in Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia: to help people and animals quickly, easily and personally. Children in particular suffered from the traumatic experiences of natural disasters and war. With art therapy and animal-assisted therapy, we wanted to give them new hope - and make their hearts shine again.

Today, this beginning has grown into much more: wonderful projects and initiatives that are all characterised by the heart and mindset of Fortuna helps e.V. are supported.

Living inclusion, Resilience training and Bullying prevention in primary schools and kindergartens are now an integral part of our work.

What once began as quick emergency aid is now a sustainable commitment to greater humanity, strength and cohesion - especially for the youngest members of our society.

Our favourite projects

Painting circus

The MALzirkus in Bad Neuenahr Ahrweiler and Schleiden supports children from the flood area with art therapy. Here they can work through their experiences and paint what they cannot express.

Animal-assisted therapy

We offer children the opportunity to deal with their fears and experiences through the animal and experiential education, to gain confidence and strengthen resilience.

Help animals

Because every life counts, we help large and small animals in need. Protecting nature and promoting sustainability is important to us in order to strengthen the future for everyone.

Our vision
